Poll: How fast is your internet connection?

[Valiance]

Poll is for the type.

For actual speed, try here: http://www.speedtest.net

I was curious to see, since The Escapist is from all over the world, how many people use dial-up and T1 lines, see if it's as readily available as it is here. I don't have one, but I think if I had enough money, I could have a T1 line.

I'll post mine when I'm home. My school has something ridiculous, like a T3 line

Spoiler: As you can see here

Also, I searched "internet speed" "internet connection" and "fast internet" or something along those lines, found nothing, and I suppose this poll hasn't been done.

8 Mbits.
New Zealand internet sucks.

Edit:

[http://www.speedtest.net]
Best I've ever had. Ever.

From the rest of the thread, I take it back. UK internet sucks.
The main problem with my internet is that I only get to use 20 GB per month.

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

1.95Mbps

WTF?!

 

[Undo]

14 Mbits from work, should be around 5-6 from home. Both on German DSL.

 

[Nimbus]

3 Mbits.

Is this like, a list thread, or does it have a point?

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

Not fast enough.

 

[FireFly90]

I'm still on 512Kb connection, but thats only coz we live in a rural area. And i've heard that we can't get an upgrade for another 3-4 years

 

[Magus44]

1.3 Mbits.
On supposedly 1500K for 6 months because the new place I moved into is on a horrible exchange.

 

[Uncompetative]

6.24 Mbits/sec download

0.36 Mbits/sec upload

55 ms ping

I'd be more interested to know what people's ping is, especially if they play Halo 3.

 

[TinyToaster]

(place holder for my speed test once at home)

As you can see, testing my work's speed wouldn't be all that interesting

 

[Sir Ollie]

20mbs download

2mb upload - English uploading sucks

 

[Sebenko]

[http://www.speedtest.net]

heh, never see that speed though.

 

[PureChaos]

4.85mbps, thought it was more than that

 

[Garzo]

6MB apparently but I don't believe them one little tiny bit. UK.

 

[Valiance]

It depends on what you're getting, where you're getting it from, etc.

This site has the fastest downloads I've ever had. Even though Mb/s is not MB/s...

And it's also a tool to see if you're getting what you're paying for, you know? As opposed to paying for a fast connection and getting to use about 1/4th of it.

On-topic, I'm surprised at the amount of DSL. I have cable in my home...

 

[brainfreeze215]

I'm not sure what it is, but it's a school network so it's fast.

[http://www.speedtest.net]

Hmmm love that im paying for 8Mb. Orange you fail.........big time.

 

[nolongerhere]

[http://www.speedtest.net]

Paying for 8 Mb so not bad.

 

[kebala]

[http://www.speedtest.net]

Paying for 5 Mb
Makes me happy

Eh, not as good as it should be I think but considering that before this I was stuck on 56k dial-up I find myself not terribly heartbroken.
